English conversation school and International Preschool, from kids class to business English class for a wide range of age groups. Rivercity English School

Rivercity Playgroup offers three basic programs: Preschool, Music and Movement class and Kinder-School.
Our Preschool Curriculum is based on The Creative Curriculum, developed by Teaching Strategies Inc, used in high-quality early childcare centers and educational settings throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.
Each program includes circle-time, group activities, arts and craft as well as self-directed free play time. Through these activities and daily plans we help children while in separation from their parents to develop their independence, creativity, social and emotional skills, physical skills, and cognitive skills. It is a fun program for both native and non-native speaking children, and as the primary language spoken is English, it is a very effective way for children to learn English too!

This is an ideal way for children to get used to the school environment before entering kindergarten. Children learn to be independent and also learn to get involved with friends and teachers. Our daily schedule is carefully planned to meet children's daily rhythm. Circle-time is a great opportunity to learn to do things together as a group, and self-directed free play time respects children's own interests and self-decisions. With native English speaking teachers, they do Music & Movement, Arts & Craft, Story Time and group games. This gives them inspiration and a reason to be thinking and learning in English. There is a two hour and a four hour course, for two to three year old children.

In M&M class, children learn the rhythms and sounds of English from music. It is a fifty minute class including Arts & Craft, Story Time and Circle Time. We believe that at this age and indeed from the age of zero, it is invaluable to take advantage of toddler's phenomenal memory skills. Even though they may not be able to produce the words, they will be learning English much faster than older children. This is an important time to lay a good foundation for the future. One and two year old children can participate with their mothers.

This is a two hour course for kindergarten children to lower elementary years based on an American program. This is a preschool advance course which contains Music & Movement, Arts & Craft, Story Time, group games and Literacy.
